CXCL12 encodes stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1), which binds to the receptor encoded by CXCR4. Variation at the CXCL12 locus is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) numbers, while variation at the CXCR4 locus is associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL), which has been shown to be associated with CAD. We therefore examined the relations of plasma SDF-1 levels to cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related outcomes, risk factors, LTL, and EPCs. SDF-1 was measured in 3359 Framingham Heart Study participants. We used Cox regression to examine relations of SDF-1 to new-onset CVD, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), and all-cause mortality; we used linear regression to evaluate associations of SDF-1 with risk factors, LTL, and CD34+ cell phenotypes. In multivariable models, higher SDF-1 levels were associated with older age, lower levels of HDL cholesterol, and cigarette smoking. Higher SDF-1 levels were associated with lower CD34+ cell frequency (p=0.02), but not with LTL. During follow-up (median 9.3 years), there were 263 new-onset CVD events, 160 MIs, 200 HF events, and 385 deaths. After adjusting for clinical risk factors, SDF-1 levels were associated with HF (p=0.04) and all-cause mortality (p=0.003), but not with CVD (p=0.39) or MI (p=0.10). The association of SDF-1 levels with MI was attenuated after adjustment for HDL cholesterol. After adjusting for traditional CVD risk factors, SDF-1 is associated with HF and all-cause mortality risk. Further studies are needed to determine whether measurement of SDF-1 levels has clinical utility.
